A beautiful set of pictures you got there. Bath looks lovely.

I notice the new wide angle lens is exceptional at urban photography.
I like 16 and 21 the best.

Thanks for sharing them.

Yeah its great however sometimes its pretty hard to compose a shot so you dont get too much empty space.

Lol, I know what you mean, I have the same problem, but it does give you more time to compose a picture, which is a good thing and can lead to more creativity.

It takes longer to compose a picture because you have to worry about distortions, empty areas in the frame etc.

Wonderful pics, Bath is a beaut!! And no offence SuomiPoika, but I hate the word "quaint"

Why are those people laughing at the woman with a crutch in pic 14, had she got something stuck to her arse?
And pic 33 looks like an advert for the new Focus, nicely done!!

Beautiful pics!
I found Bath very attractive and grand but from what I recall I didn't like it that much...I was a bit bored to be honest.

El Greco, I would like to know what you think of this pretty town? it's far away from gritty ecclectic East London, so do you enjoy this type of towns?

very nice pictures El Greco.
Bath is an absolute must for any traveler through Britain.
And the beautiful, if often overcrowded, city is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding in Europe for strolling around

Beautiful photographs. I like Very much connecting the old building and new beautiful cars. I respect also a city for the lack of nasty advertisements. Nicely for me to examine your photographs. I thank and I am greeting.

I've read many novels taking place in Bath, interesting to see it in photographs. I see that it has retained much of the late 18th and early 19th century character! Any pictures of the Pump-Room?

Very beautiful pictures. Really must visit Bath sometime.

Take a look at this blog if you're interested in some of the hidden history of Bath. There are not many posts in the archive so it's worth taking a good look.
All very interesting :
